KRUG THINKS L. A. CLUB WILL BATTLE BY MARTY KRUG LOS ANGELES, April 3—It has been my good fortune to have been appointed to manage one of the best clubs in the coast league. I am not making a prediction this early but must say the club that beats us will win the pennant. I am confident that we will be in the fight to the finish. In all my experience in the training camps I have never seen a club show more real hustling. There has not been a shirker and every man, with exception of Otis Crandall, is in tip top condition. We lack nothing. Our infield with Griggs at first, Deal at third, McAuley at short and myself at second, is second to none in the league. Not only is there an abundance of brains and skill, but there is experience and determination. At the plate we have the punch. Take Deal, Hood, and Griggs, three harder hitters will not be found in the league. Besides, they are smart and exceedingly dependable in the pinches. I have no fear about our hitting strength, for we also have McCabe, Corrall, Lindmore, Twombly, Coleman, Baldwin, Daly and Rego will swat the ball for better than a 360 average and I expect to do a little hitting myself. We are a bit unfortunate in opening with Crandall on the sick list. Yet we are strongly fortified in having high class pitchers like Lyons, Hughes Jones, Wallace, Thomas and Ponder. Where could one find a finer array of pitchers? It cannot be done in the Pacific Coast league. Jones, a left hander, who was with the Cubs last season, has made such wonderful advancement this spring that I believe he is going to give Jakle May a run for the honor of being the best southpaw in the league.

WILLARD NOT ABLE TO BOX FOR 15 DAYS KANSAS CITY, April 4—Ray Archer, manager for Jesse Willard, denied here today that Willard had an abcess on his right arm or was in any danger of having one.

April 3—Jess Willard will not be able to box for at least 15 days because of an injury to his right arm. It was announced here today. The big fighter, training here for his bout with Floyd Johnson in New York on May 12, injured his arm recently, according to his physician. There is danger of an abscess developing, necessitating his refraining from sparring of all kinds for at least two weeks, the doctor added. It is believed the injury will not cause Willard to call off the fight with Johnson in New York. In the meantime, Willard, it was announced, will do as much road work and training as his physicians will allow. “I am certainly going to box Johnson,” Willard said. “This injury will be well in two weeks and I will be in good shape when the bout is staged. They needn’t worry about me being on hand. Firpo can box me or someone else, but it is certain I will be in that ring.” BIG ATTRACTION FOR BOXING FANS TUES.

BOSTON, April 3.—The laws of humanity are above those of the state. So declared Dr. J. Leo Hanson, who returned today from an errand of mercy to a rum laden schooner several miles off the Massachusetts coast. A few hours earlier, while the ship rolled and tossed, Dr. Hanson amputated a portion of the Right leg of a seaman, who had been infected with blood poisoning then with gangrene, following frost bite. Two days ago the captain shared his stores with two other ships in the trade, one of which he declared had since gone to the bottom. While the operation was in progress, the crew of the big schooner was engaged in transferring new gear from the smaller vessel which brought out supplies. The doors to her cabina were shattered and all loose gear had long ago been carried overboard. The skipper said pirates were more feared than revenue agents. He drew aside a tarpaulin covering a machine gun and pointed to a stack of automatic rifles, with which he had armed his crew.
